One of the leading mobile app developers in Perth is The App Workshop. Incredibly, some of their apps have reached no. 1 in their category in the iTunes App Store in 28 countries, including Australia, the USA, and the UK.

This company mainly helps organisations streamline their processes. Some notable clients are the University of WA, Fiona Stanley Hospital, and Planet Indonesia.

It’s convenient that they give more than one option to discuss their services. Their team can either come to the client or have a meeting at their Perth Central Business District (CBD) office.

Clients also find their location strategic as it’s surrounded by Transperth city buses. Many take the bus here to get to inner city tourist attractions and other places too.

Either way, the first step is done face-to-face, which may be practical or a hassle to some.

Afterwards, they’ll provide a detailed proposal outlining the app’s features and functions. We think this is helpful to address most of the client’s expectations early in the process. 

Then, their agile process (scrum) means a product increment will be demonstrated to the client every 2 weeks. We believe this is enough time to get updates and provide feedback for the app simultaneously.

Alternatively, the product owner can opt to receive daily updates during the app development. Their flexibility is shown with these options, especially when the need for app development is urgent.

The App Workshop is available Mondays to Fridays, but they open a little later than several app developers in Perth at 10 am.

Apps People is one of the app developers in Perth worth considering because they’ve already garnered a bunch of recognitions in the industry. One of these is the Winner: Design 100 Silver Award in 2016.

This company specialises in designing and developing web and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Many appreciate their knowledge of the ins and outs of app building, as well as their hands-on mindset.

They have a decade’s worth of experience too, so it’s reassuring that they’ve already applied what they know many times.

But though their specialised skills are fewer than others, they help clients with plenty of opportunities. They can provide a prototype, app, marketing campaign, 1-on-1 support, guidance, or validation tailored to most projects.

For Android, iPhone, and iPad apps, they advise clients on the best method for the project – whether the app should be natively for iOS, Android, or cross-platform for both devices.

With this level of guidance, previous customers commend how well the team thinks the project through rather than doing only what was expected.

Their developers are also all in-house and welcome clients to sit alongside them while they code. Sometimes, using in-house developers may allow for better focus and more effective collaboration than outsourcing.

Not only that, but they also provide several variations for the app icon. This shows their hard work and intent to capture the client’s vision of how it would look.

They use cutting-edge technology behind the scenes as well, like Virtual Reality (VR) and Machine Learning. We believe their continuous innovation makes the apps smarter, simplifies their management, and ensures sustainability.

However, they can’t give exact pricing for your app on their website. Alternatively, they have an app cost estimator you can use as a rough guide. 

If you want to know more, they give a free quote for a quick initial discussion. Make sure to reach them on weekdays as they’re unavailable on Saturdays and Sundays.

Whether you need a new app or extra horsepower for your software team, Adapptor is among the top app developers in Perth for you.

This company has a broad experience – from enterprise logistics apps to mobile e-commerce and from artificial intelligence to augmented reality.

They also specialise in native mobile app development. Their impressive portfolio reassures us that they understand Android and iOS well, alongside the hardware-specific functionality of different mobile phones and tablets.

If you want to take your app up a notch, it’s great that other integration services are also available for custom recommendations. These are secure databases, real-time data syncing, push notification services, and natural language processing.

The product owners and this company’s UX specialists usually co-design the app. Each project also has a Technical Lead and Technical Director.

All commitments would be validated via peer review, so we know all aspects of the app will be taken care of.

Their requirements are translated into 3 to 6-week sprints as well. While this is the average pacing for app development updates, we think other Perth app developers may give slightly quicker updates than this range.

Once the app is released, they also offer vigilant monitoring. All critical data is backed up on remote servers.

We believe their backing method is excellent because it ensures faster recovery during data centre or hardware failure. This can also minimise downtime and data loss.

To add to their credibility, this app developer has memberships with App Development Companies Australia, the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) in 2019, and Glassdoor.

However, Adapptor’s location doesn’t accommodate parking outside their office, so this is something to consider for onsite meetings. The closest parking would be at the City of Perth Parking (CPP).

BlueSky Digital Labs is one of the top app developers in Perth with full stack developers, front-end designers, computer engineers, and data analysts. 

We like their diverse team because they’re likelier to cover all skills needed to build the best app. They also have around 50 employees to reassure clients that they can provide enough time and focus for every task.

They cater to 3 main clients: established businesses, new companies, and large organisations. They can also meet their prospects at their central Perth location. 

But while their office is usually accessible for most city residents, the parking space around the area may be limited and can be quickly filled on a busy day.

Apart from apps and systems, this company specialises in custom web development too. This is practical if the client also has a website project and would prefer the same developers provide seamless outputs.

To show financial transparency, many clients applaud that they provide upfront estimates, phase payments, full scoping, and clear timeframes. This could prevent surprise costs and miscommunication in the long run.

If interested, contact BlueSky Digital Labs to book a complimentary exploratory meeting or get a quote on weekdays. Prospects may either fill up their short online form or give them a call.

Hatchet is a leading digital agency with some of the best app developers in Perth.

They’ve worked with all sizes of businesses throughout Western Australia. So, you can expect that whether you’re a small business owner or an ASX or Australian Stock Exchange-listed company, they have the means to assist you.

We appreciate that they include the contact method preference of the clients on their contact form. This shows that they respect the client’s time and can be flexible with their schedule.

Each project is assigned a small, dedicated team of designers and developers too. For us, cross-functional teams can give highly-customised work for client satisfaction.

The app development project starts with an obligation-free discovery session. This is where clients can pick their brains on the validity of their app idea from a marketing and technical perspective.

We like this part of the initial process since this would help clients strategise from different experts’ points of view. Clients don’t have to be scared of making an app for their organisation without fully understanding the potential repercussions.

But currently, they only have a team of 5 people (and 1 furry office companion), which is quite a few compared to other Perth app-developing companies. Still, they’re constantly hiring to fill vacancies and accommodate more clients.

As a whole, app owners should expect 3 months as a baseline for standard builds. This may be a while, but building an app is no easy feat in general.

To ensure your app’s progress, Hatchet can provide after-hours support and ongoing maintenance when needed – but with additional costs.
